Adding to basket
Cirila is a kind, hard-working person in the area where she lives, and has worked in agriculture for several years. Due to the characteristics and shortcomings of this rural area she was unable to get an education. But out of necessity she learned how to manage her resources efficiently.
She lives with her husband and five children and, because of the evident disadvantage of not having a primary education, must struggle tirelessly to give her children better opportunities than are offered in a rural community.
On this occasion she is in need of farm supplies: organic fertlizer and seeds to improve and increase production of her potato, onion and pea crops.
Cirila is committed to her continued effort of giving her family better living conditions; she knows that farm work is quite self-sacrificing. But through her potato, onion and pea production she and her neighbors, through their agriculture, help to provide enough food for people in this country.
